TIME herewith prints a photograph of the house in Madison, Wis., de-signed for Herbert Jacobs by Architect Wright. L-shaped, it stands with its back to the street corner on an acre lot.

One Sunday in 1867 a preacher tried to put them out of church and they were so annoyed that they broke the preacher's arm. As a result of that, they joined their mother who was in the county workhouse on a larceny charge.
